'Oldboy's Park Chan-wook Expelled From Writers Guild for Breaking Strike Rules

In a surprisingly public move, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) has expelled two prominent creators: South Korean writer and director Park Chan-wook and Don McKellar, a Canadian writer-director who worked with Park on the HBO limited series The Sympathizer. According to a report via Variety, the decision was made public after the WGA discovered that both Park and McKellar had continued to write and work on the series while the 2023 strike was ongoing, which directly contradicted the Guild's rules. The WGA strike was one of the longest in the Union's history, lasting from May to September 2023.
